The Rebel

Ma'am.

Good morning.

Be careful, ma'am.

Did you hurt yourself, Mary?

No, I'm quite all right.

Seems higher than the ones in the East.

Well, the roads out here have higher bumps in them, ma'am.

I see.

Get in, dear.

Is that a soldier's hat?

Well, it was.

All right, Son.

I'm sorry, Katy,

but between the Reform League and the newspaper,

I got no choice.

Ed, at least let me get aboard like anyone else.

All right, Katy, good luck.

Thanks, Sheriff.

Hey, Bull, that's Katy Jewel.

Galt, they ain't put the strongbox in.

Maybe it's not traveling with them.

They ain't finished loading.

Good morning, gents.

Howdy, ma'am, can I take your baggage?

I'm obliged, much obliged.

Anybody can ride as long as their fare is paid

and they behave theirselves, Mr. Bishop.

I tell you, I won't have my family

exposed to a woman like that.

There's another coach tomorrow.

I've got to make this connection.

I'm traveling on business.

I'll sit next to her.

You can put your son and wife on the other seat.

Well, that will help, thank you.

That's the box all right.

This is working out just like I planned and better.

Giddy-up, giddy-up!

Oh, excuse me, did I spoil your writing?

Oh, it doesn't matter.

It's finished anyway.

Folks say this Sweetwater Road

is the worst in the territory.

Glad we'll be on it only for a day.

Um, are you transferring east or west

at the junction, mister?

Yuma, Johnny Yuma.

Headed for Tucson.

I'm pleased to know you, Mr. Yuma.

I'm Mrs. Jewel.

Mrs. Catherine Jewel.

Been a widow six years though.

That's when I came out here, when my husband died.

Are you going back East, Mrs. Jewel?

Yes, Philadelphia's my home.

Now that I've saved a nest egg,

I plan on starting a little business there, a hat shop.

Well, I hope you make out fine, Mrs. Jewel.

I guess those Philadelphia ladies

are mighty interested in hats.

I hope so.

I got responsibilities.

There's a mesquite over there behind the barn.

They won't be able to spot him.

How about the other one?

He put up much of a fight?

Uh huh.

After they get in,

there'll be a three hour wait

before the first transfer stage is due.

That'll give us plenty of time to get out.

Can we get out soon, Papa?

I told you, Son,

we don't stop until we reach the junction.

Say, I've got something you might like right here.

Might help pass the time.

I collected these for a little boy I know in Philadelphia.

He's just about your age.

Took a long time to find them.

You have to look for the good ones, you know?

Boy, look how this one shines.

Do you think he'd care if I played with them some?

That other boy?

You can play with them all the way to Sweetwater.

This is quite unnecessary.

Mary, give the boy his picture book.

But I've seen every picture, Papa.

Rodney, don't make me punish you.

You're punishing him right now.

It is hard on the boy, Morton.

Oh, all right, all right.

Boy, look how this one shines.

All right, everybody out.

Well, well, well,

if it ain't the Bishop Engineering Company,

London, New York, and Boston, in person.

Come on, make it fast.

You're a fancy piece of baggage.

You don't remember me, do you?

What's this?

Nothing to steal, just a journal.

Well, you fought in the mud just like me, didn't you, Reb?

I said, didn't you?

Yeah, I guess so.

Only difference is gray dirties

easier than blue, don't it?

Depends on who's wearing it.

Oh, do I smell like a goat to you?

I'm not armed.

You have my word.

Bull here don't understand nothing

about the word of a gentleman, Mr. Bishop.

He didn't fight in the mud, Reb.

I wouldn't know.

None of his kind did.

They bought their way out of the army.

Ain't that right, Bishop?

Money will buy anything.

Everything's going to be all right.

You just sit still and be quiet, Mrs. Bishop.

You don't wanna be a widow like me.

Widow, so that's it, huh?

You wearing them dowdy clothes,

so's you can pretend to big people?

I'm not pretending anything.

What do you get outta tearing people apart?

You wanna look like her?

Why, she's a crow next to you.
